To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Tim Conklin, Community Planning and Engineering Services Director
From: Dawn T. Warrick, AICP, Zoning and Development Administrator
Date: July 27, 2004
Subject: Right-of-way Vacation for U of A Parking Garage (VAC 04-1136)
Planning Staff recommends approval of an ordinance vacating portions of right-of-way for
William Street, Buchanan Avenue and two (2) 15 -foot wide alleys, as described and depicted
herein.
BACKGROUND
The University of Arkansas is in the process of constructing a new multi -level parking facility in
the southern portion of campus. A new street, Harmon Avenue, is planned for construction, as
well, to service adjoining streets in the area. The street will connect California Blvd/Center Street
to Dickson Street and incorporate the southern portion of "existing" Harmon Avenue as well as
the northern portion of "existing" Buchanan Avenue. The University also proposes construction
of two or more new buildings over the existing alignment of Buchanan Avenue in the near future.
Request: The applicant requests to vacate approximately 637 LF of William Street between
Duncan Avenue and Buchanan Avenue, 823 LF of Buchanan Avenue between Fairview Street
and Dickson Street, and two 15 ft. wide alleys within the old platted Shreve's Addition, of 305 LF
and 358 LF respectively.
DISCUSSION
Notification was provided to all utility representatives and adjoining property owners. No
objections were submitted. Conditions are included in the attached staff report for the dedication
of additional utility easements, responsibilty for existing utilities, and public rights of
ingress/egress to the newly constructed street.
The Planning Commission voted 5-0-2, Commissioners Ostner and Anthes abstaining, to forward
this item to the City Council with a recommendation for approval at the regular meeting of July
26, 2004.

VAC 04-1136: Vacation (U OF A PARKING GARAGE, 483): Submitted by
MCCLELLAND CONSULTING ENGINEERS for property located at S OF DICKSON
STREET, ON HARMON AVE, BUCHANAN AVENUE AND WILLIAM STREET.
The property is zoned P-1, INSTITUTIONAL and RMF-24, RESIDENTIAL MULTI-
FAMILY, 24 UNITS PER ACRE, and contains approximately 1.57 acres. The request is
to vacate portions of 2 streets, 2 alleys and a utility easement.
Ostner: The next item on our agenda under new business is VAC 04-1136 for the
U of A Parking Garage.
Anthes: As I am involved in planning at the University of Arkansas I will recuse
from this item.
Ostner: I too am going to recuse from this. I will hand it over to Commissioner
Allen.
Allen: This is VAC 04-1136 for the University of Arkansas Parking Garage.
Jeremy, can we have your report please?
Pate: Our first item is a request for vacation of two rights of way and two allies.
Buchanan Avenue and Harmon Avenue, as well as the two allies I just
mentioned. The University of Arkansas is in the process of constructing a
new street, Harmon Avenue, along with the parking garage that is
currently under construction to service adjoining streets in the area as well
as a multi -level parking facility on the southern portion of the campus.
The street will connect California Blvd., which is also Center Street, to
Dickson Street and will incorporate the southern portion of the existing
Harmon Avenue as well as the northern portion of the existing Buchanan
Avenue. The University proposes construction of two or more new
buildings over this existing alignment of Buchanan Avenue in the near
future. I believe the applicants have brought a proposed site plan for their
future development. The request tonight is to vacate approximately 637
linear feet of Williams Street. 823 linear feet of Buchanan Avenue and
two 15' wide allies within the old Shreve's Addition. We have received
utility responses. There are no objections. There are several conditions of
approval. Staff is recommending approval of the proposed right of way
and alley vacations with those six conditions of approval. I will read over
those for you. Item one, all water and sewer lines must be properly
replaced, capped, abandoned, etc. prior to approval of this vacation. This
includes a 2" water line running north from Fairview on Buchanan. 2)
All sewer mains upstream from the manhole in the Williams/Duncan
intersection shall become ownership of the University of Arkansas. 3)
All new water and (City owned) sewer lines shall have at least a 20' wide
easement centered on the pipe. 4) Retain the existing easement south of
lots 1 and 2 for the existing gas line. 5) Dedication of the requested
easements for AEP/Swepco and Southwestern Bell Telephone. 6) The
Planning Commission •
July 26, 2004
Page 5
40 -foot general utility easement as indicated on the enclosed exhibit to be
dedicated to the City of Fayetteville shall include rights of ingress/egress
for public vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Allen: Thank you Jeremy. Do we have signed conditions of approval?
Pate: We do not at this time.
Allen: Thank you. Is the applicant present? Please come forward and give us
your presentation.
Beaumont: Good evening. I'm Kevin Beaumont with McClelland Consulting
Engineers. We were hired on behalf of the University to request this issue
to you. You have copies of the Vacation Plat and the Utility Easement
Plat Exhibit "A". I have large copies if that will help you.
Allen: If you have something new for us you can step forward and give your
presentation.
Beaumont: I don't have any additional information to what you already have but I can
outline to you.
Allen: No, we have that. Thank you.
Beaumont: The question as far as do we have signed documents, as far as utilities are
concerned they have signed off on everything approving to vacate subject
to some easements being put into place by the University. We have four
of those five easements in here today for Fayetteville Water and Sewer
and for SBC and we have the general 40' utility easement down Harmon
Avenue that has also been signed on behalf of the University. The only
one that is missing is the one for SWEPCO. That is in the process of
being forwarded here today.
Beagle: I'm Bob Beagle from the University, I'm just here in case you have any
questions.
Allen: Thank you Bob. Is there anyone from the public who would like to speak
to this issue? Seeing no one, I will bring it back to the Planning
Commission for discussion.
Graves: I take it from the response by the petitioner that you have read the
conditions of approval and that you don't have any objections or problems
or issues with any of them?
Beaumont: No, there is no problem at all with satisfying all of those.

STREET AND ALLEY VACATION REQUEST
2-15' Alleys, 637' William Street, 823' Buchanan Avenue
FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS
The University of Arkansas is in the process of constructing a new street, Harmon Avenue to
service adjoining streets in the area as well as a new multi -level parking facility in the southern
portion of the campus. The street will connect California Blvd/ Center Street to Dickson Street
and will incorporate the southern portion of "existing" Harmon Avenue as well as the northern
portion of "existing" Buchanan Avenue. It will also connect to the west end of William Street
that currently intersects with Buchanan Avenue. The University proposes construction of two or
more new buildings over the existing alignment of Buchanan Avenue in the near future.
To enable construction of the parking deck, approval has already been granted for vacating a 356
LF portion of Harmon Avenue immediately south of William Street, and also two unused alleys
within the old platted Shreve's Addition and Block 3 of McIlroy's Subdivision.
The University is requesting street vacations as follows:
1. William Street (637 LF), between Duncan Avenue and Buchanan Avenue.
2. Buchanan Avenue (823 LF), between Fairview Street and Dickson Street._
The University is also requesting vacation of two (2) 15 ft wide alleys within the old platted
Shreve's Addition, of 305 LF and 358 LF respectively.
The University intends to complete construction of Harmon Avenue by April 2005. It will
extend from Fairview Street to Dickson Street and, the northern most section (300 LF approx)
will be on the same alignment as the existing Buchanan Avenue. The southern section (500 LF
approx) of Buchanan Avenue is to be vacated to make way for future development.
The University currently owns all of the property on both sides of Buchanan Avenue and
William Street that it is proposed be vacated.
There are not any property owners adjoining the proposed street vacation areas that need to be
notified regarding the vacation of these portions of street or alleys.
The existing utilities within William Street will remain undisturbed. The existing water and
sanitary sewer utilities within Buchanan Avenue will be abandoned, all overhead utilities will be
rerouted. A new 12" water line will be constructed along Harmon Avenue to improve water
distribution in the area. A new 8" sanitary sewer will be constructed along a section of Harmon
Avenue to service future University buildings in the area.
Based on the above the University is requesting street and alley vacations as shown on the
attached Vacation Plat.

Street, Alley and Utility Easement Vacation-
General Comments/ Clarification ref Application
Owing to the complexity of several proposedprojects by the University of Arkansas and
their associated construction phasing within the area of Buchanan Avenue, Harmon
Avenue and William Street there will be a need to provide localized easements to some
of the public utility companies until such time as:
• the utility is relocated. .
• the utility is abandoned.
Those public utility companies affected are:
• City of Fayetteville's Water Department; requiring 2 (two) easement
documents to provide access to a 2" and 6" water line.
• SWEPCO; requiring a single easement.
• SBC; requiring a single easement.
A General. Utility Easement document together with an associated Plat "Exhibit
A" is also included for information purposes for the proposed Harmon Avenue,
this will be utilized by any of the utilities as required.
It is anticipated that relocation or abandonment will have been undertaken for each of the
affected utilities within the next 12 to 18 months.
Subject to approval of the vacation process, there is a need to provide access for
maintenance of these utilities during the interim period. Accordingly easement
documentation is included for all those entities affected.
The easements have yet to be signed off by the University Board of Trustees, however
resolutions for each are included. As soon as the easements have been approved signed
copies will be provided as part of this application.

RE: Scope of Work and Cost Estimate
Transportation Master Plan
University of Arkansas - Fayetteville
Dear Mr. Huneycutt:
Martin/Alexiou/Bryson, PLLC (1WA/B) is pleased to submit a scope of work and cost estimate
in response to the Request for Proposal (RFP) dated June 28, 2004. The attached document
includes the following sections (in this order):
• Project Understanding and Goals
• Stakeholder Involvement
• A Scope of Services for each phase (PhaseslA, Phase 18, and Phase2), including
> Project Purpose
➢ Stakeholder Involvement
> Work Products
• Obligations of the University and City
• Project Timeline
• Basis of Compensation (all phases)
The scopes for all three phases are very comprehensive, representing our general approach
and methodologies, and generally reflecting the RFP. However, the finalization of the scope
and associated costs requires more detailed discussions on each item with the University (and
City for some tasks). Therefore, this scope and cost estimate must be considered preliminary
and subject to change. If the cost exceeds the University's budget, there are several areas of
scope (and cost) that could be reduced without compromising the project objectives.
We have added to out team Cloud Gehshan Associates (CGA), a leader in developing
wayfinding and sign programs. CGA was included in our original team, and the firm's
qualifications were submitted to you by Fedex last week.
Please do not hesitate contact to me at (919) 881-1243 or georgealexiouamabtrans.com if you
need additional information or have any questions.
Sincerely yours,

UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS
Proposal to Undertake
CAMPUS TRANSPORTATION STUDY
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND GOALS
The University of Arkansas, located in Fayetteville and the flagship campus of the
University of Arkansas system, is experiencing significant growth which is anticipated to
continue into the foreseeable future. This growth brings with it pressure on limited land
resources and the transportation infrastructure serving the campus. This is further
compounded by the campus being located within a region that is expected to almost
double its population over the next 20 years, placing unprecedented demands on the
region's transportation system and necessitating new approaches to addressing future
transportation needs.
The anticipated growth of the flagship campus requires the preparation of a
Transportation Master Plan. This will accompany the update of the 1998 Campus
Master Plan that will be concurrently undertaken by University staff. The development of
the Transportation Master Plan must be undertaken within the context of regional
transportation issues, goals, and plans, as well as Campus Master Plan goals. The
City's recent Traffic and Transportation Study, which outlines the Citys transportation
needs and priorities for the next 20 years, identifies traffic congestion as the highest
priority but stresses solutions which increasingly emphasize reducing vehicular traffic,
multi-modalism, and smart growth. It also identifies the University as a major travel
generator, and highlights the need for close cooperation in developing solutions.
The Transportation Master Plan also must reflect the University's commitment to
sustainabiltty principles, and enhancing the pedestrian environment and aesthetics of
the campus (a common theme among the major campuses we are assisting). The
University is seeking forward -thinking, sustainable transportation solutions that not only
address mobility but also contribute to the University's mission and vision.
One early manifestation of the University's growth is the need for more buildings and
more parking. One parking deck is under construction and another planned for the
North Campus. The impacts of these must be addressed early in the study (Phase 1A of
the overall transportation study). The planning and impacts of another deck proposed in
the Downtown Master Plan to jointly serve businesses in the Dickson Street corridor and
University students, will be the focus of a second study (Phase 1B) which will be an
extension of the Phase I study.
The overall Transportation Master Plan (the Phase 2 study) will begin at the same time
as the Phase 1A study. Work undertaken for both Phase 1 studies, and in particular the
development of a traffic simulation model, will feed into and be expanded on in the
overall study. The 1998 Campus Master Plan provides a starting point for the
Transportation Master Plan. It Identified a number of transportation problems and
issues, proposed design principles to guide circulation and parking, and offered
recommendations, many of which may still be valid today. Several improvements
recommended in that plan have been implemented.

STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
A critical element of all three studies is stakeholder involvement to ensure all possible
information is factored into the study, all concerns and desires are heard, and the best
possible solutions and plan results. Ali these in turn will help build support and
consensus for the transportation plan and recommendations of each study phase.
Stakeholders include segments of the University population, the community
(neighborhoods, businesses, organizations and groups, and individuals), and City
regional and State governments agencies. To ensure a successful outcome, our team
will take a proactive and hands-on' approach to involving stakeholders.
Some of the projects that may be proposed by the University have implications for the
surrounding neighborhoods and the traveling public, in addition to fulfilling the
University's mission. The legitimate concerns of all these stakeholders, and potentially
groups within the University, must be addressed. Community and neighborhood groups
have made it clear that they want to be heard and actively participate. The University
recognizes that broader participation will help identify and avoid unacceptable impacts,
and develop effective mitigation strategies that balance the benefits and impacts of the
projects. Moreover, by conducting studies in an open forum, consensus can be reached
step-by-step to ensure broad buy -in of the findings and recommendations by all
stakeholders.
Agreement on key issues and factors at the appropriate step in any study will avoid
surprises later in the study. Therefore, meetings must be thoughtfully structured to
carefully explain issues and options, and make group decisions. The emphasis of our
approach is on making clear decisions that keep a study moving forward. Each phase of
a study must conclude with a clear direction. Therefore, the opinions and concerns of all
interested parties must be aggressively sought out early so that they can be factored into
the technical work and addressed in the conclusions and recommendations.
The senior members of our team are very accustomed and skilled at working with
stakeholders in a variety of settings. Many of our campus projects have involved
multiple committees, both within and outside the campus. Typical committee
membership has included mayors and councilpersons/commissioners, public agency
staff, departments of transportation, individual neighborhoods, community groups, the
university presidentchancellor, top administrators, faculty, staff and students. Many
projects have involved separate presentations or workshops with neighborhoods to
examine and resolve specific issues. Other projects have entailed tiered technical
committees and policy committees as a means of ensuring buy -in on all technical
assumptions, methodologies, and results at every step of the process, and acting on key
findings to make recommendations. We have earned the respect of many of
transportation, political, and business leaders for our professional expertise, broad
understanding of issues, ability to get decisions made, and ability to communicate
information. We believe in being respectful and responsive, but with the goal of reaching
closure.
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 2 July 12, 2004
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Following is a proposed scope of services for achieving the project goals. A separate
scope of services is provide for each study phase, however it is assumed that Phase 1
and Phase 2 will run concurrently. The scopes will be refined based on feedback from
the steering committee.
PHASE 1A — LEVERETT NEIGHBORHOODIHARMON AND NORTH CAMPUS DECK
PURPOSE
This Phase 1A study will provide an assessment of the Harmon Avenue deck that is
scheduled to open in April 2005, and a planned deck on the north side of the campus (in
the vicinity of Douglas and Leverett Streets. The study will be structured to capture and
understand the cumulative impacts of both decks.
The Phase 1A study will be undertaken concurrently with the Transportation Master
Plan. Because counts cannot be collected until at least one week after school reopens
(i.e., one week after August 23), the study will be completed in late November.
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
At the outset of the entire study, an overall stakeholder involvement strategy and
program will be developed in consultation with the University. At a minimum this will
include regular meetings with all stakeholders (groups and individuals), more formal
meetings (with presentations), workshops (including charrettes), and an interactive
webslte (to be provided by the University).
Phase 1A stakeholder involvement will focus on the communities bordering the northern,
eastern, and southern edges of the campus as these have the greatest potential of
being impacted by the projects. Two meetings are proposed for this purpose (included
as tasks below). In addition, less formal meetings will be held with individuals or smaller
groups as needed. NUAIB also will provide all material for placement on the University's
website.
M/AB will prepare all meeting notices, background materials, and follow-up
documentation of the meeting, and make the presentations. The University will organize
the venuesand-equipment;-andpubffctze-meetings:
TASKS
(Note: The initial tasks of the Phase 2 Transportation Master Plan will be undertaken
concurrent with the Phase 1A tasks. These tasks provide a necessary framework for the
Phase 1A and 1B studies. The overlap of tasks for the various phases is shown on the
project timeline.)
IA -1 Review Potential Deck Sites for North Campus Deck
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 3 July 12, 2004
I
Potential sites for a North Campus deck will be identified and evaluated (criteria for this
task are detailed under Phase 2). This also is the kick-off trip for the project.
1A-2 Collect Intersection, Roadway and Traffic Data
A study area will be defined to address the potential combined impacts of the Harmon
and North Campus decks. The study area will be the area bordered by Center Street,
Garland Avenue, Cleveland Street, and Arkansas and Whitham Avenues.
Information to be collected for streets includes:
• Widths
• Number of lanes
• Posted speed
• Parking
• Bike lanes
• Grades
• Sight distance limitations
• Sidewalk characteristics
• Daily (24 -hour) traffic counts
Information to be collected for Intersections:
• Number and type of lanes on each approach
• Lane widths
• Length of storage
• Type of control
• Signal phasing/timing data
• Pedestrian crossings
It Is anticipated that up to 30 intersections may be encompassed by the study area. The
following is a preliminary list of intersections that may be included (this list will be
reviewed and finalized with the University and City):
1. Center and University
2. Center and Duncan
3. California and Harmon
4. California and Virginia
5. Dickson and University
6. Dickson and Arkansas
7. Dickson and Duncan

23. Cleveland and Whitham
24. Cleveland and Leverett
25. Cleveland and Storer
26. Cleveland and Oakland
27. Cleveland and Lindell
28. Cleveland and Garland
Counts will be collected for the two AM. and P.M peak periods (two hours in each
period). It Is assumed new counts will be required at half the intersections. The counts
will include pedestrians, cyclists, and trucks/buses. These counts will provide an
assessment of current conditions, including traffic for all existing parking facilities
(including the Garland parking deck).
For costing purposes it is assumed that new counts will be required at a total of 25
intersection and 20 mid -block locations for the entire transportation study.
IA -3 Develop Traffic Simulation Model.
The development of a campus -wide Synchro/SimTrafc simulation model that includes
the above streets and intersections will be commenced in this task. This model will be
expanded and enhanced in the subsequent study phases.
The model will be built on the City's existing model. Additional street network will be
entered, including existing geometric and timing/phasing data. Where appropriate,
signalized intersections will be grouped according to the City's signal system zones, and
timing splits will be optimized within these zones using cycle lengths provided by the
City.
IA -4 Conduct Existing Conditions Traffic Analysis
The model will be applied to assess existing conditions for the A.M. and P.M. peak
periods. This will include level -of -service (LOS) for intersections and specific
movements, delays, and queuing. Existing problems will be identified and mapped.
IA -5 Conduct No -Build Conditions Traffic Analysis
The model then will be applied to assess future conditions for the year both planned
decks would be open, but without the decks or other changes in campus parking. This
provides an assessment of future conditions that can be expected even if the University
does not grow or add parking. Background growth factors will be based on historic
growth rates and other information the City may provide. Anticipated problems and
constraints will be identified and mapped.
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 5 July 12, 2004
In addition, changes in midblock traffic also will be calculated (daily and peak hour) so
that residents on particular streets can understand how much traffic will grow because of
regional growth.
1A-6 Present Findings to University and City
A meeting will be held with University and City staff to present the findings to date. The
University and City will be asked to review these findings prior to the first community
meeting. Information will be distributed beforehand, so that the community meeting can
be held on the following day (or possibly the same evening).
IA -7 Conduct Community Meeting 91
The background information will be presented at the first community meeting. The
purpose of this meeting will be to introduce the community to the overall transportation
study, and the study process and schedule. The Phase I study will be outlined, and the
background information from the preceding tasks presented in powerpoint and displays.
Attendees will be asked to mark maps and fill out a questionnaire to identify existing
concerns and issues, and anticipated issues related to the parking decks. This may
include traffic, pedestrian circulation, transit needs, other University impacts, and
opposition to any decks north of Maple Street.
IA -8 Determine Parking Supply Changes
In preparation for analyzing the traffic impacts of the planned decks, all potential parking
losses and gains within the study area between now and the time the North Campus
parking deck opens will be estimated. Any other potential changes in trip generation
also will be identified.
IA -9 Determine Vehicular Trip Generation
Peak hour and daily trip generation rates will be developed for the two decks based on
surveys and projected users. The campus will be divided into zones for the purpose of
trip generation of new decks, other changes in the parking supply, and changes in trip
generators.
1A-10 Determine Vehicular Trip Distribution
Traffic will be distributed and assigned to the street network based on the geocoding
results (see Phase 2). existing traffic counts, and any available regional data. The
distribution of trips will be based on the zones described above. This traffic will be
added to the no -build traffic.
IA -11 Conduct Build Conditions Traffic Analysis
The simulation model then will be applied to assess future conditions with both planned
decks open. Anticipated problems will be identified and mapped. In addition, changes
in midblock traffic also will be calculated (daily and peak hour) so that residents on
particular streets have measure of how traffic will change on their street.
MARTIN/ALEXJOU/BRYSON 6 July 12, 2004
Options for capacity and safety improvements will be identified and shown on drawings
and other graphics for presentation to the community at the second meeting. These will
be reviewed with the University and City beforehand. In addition to possible intersection
improvements, potential traffic calming techniques to control the speed and or volume of
traffic on a particular street will be identified. Order -of -magnitude costs will be
developed for the North Campus deck and all street improvements. (While it would be
possible to assess each deck separately, this would entail additional cost.)
In the event that there is consensus by the University and City that the proposed size of
the North Campus deck cannot be accommodated by the street system, the deck size
will be reduced and the traffic analysis redone.
1A-12 Identify Additional Needs and Improvements
The final destinations of the deck users will be projected, and the preferred mode of
travel determined (walking, transit, or cycling). Deficiencies in existing facilities or
services for each mode will be Identified, and improvements proposed. Particular
attention will be given to pedestrian safety. Order -of -magnitude costs will be developed
for improvements.
IA -13 Present Findings to University and City
A meeting will be held with University and City staff to present the findings to date. The
University and City will be asked to review these findings prior to the second community
meeting. Information will be distributed beforehand, so that the community meeting can
be held on the following day (or possibly the same evening).
IA -14 Conduct Community MeetIng #2
The findings will be presented at a second community meeting. Following a
presentation, attendees will be asked to break into groups and mark up maps showing
the preferred improvements and Identifying any other issues that should be addressed.
If required, perspectives of the North Campus deck can be prepared (not included in the
cost estimate).
IA -15 Develop Wayfinding and Visitors Center
Recommendations for wayfinding for the two decks will be developed by team member
Cloud Gehshan Associates (CGA). Their methodology for developing a wayfinding plan
is described under Phase 2. It Is important that the Phase 2 wayfinding study and plan
development precede the recommendations for wayfinding for the individual decks.
Therefore, it recommended that as the overall wayfinding plan is being prepared (and
after initial concepts are agreed on), CGA should design temporary signs for the Harmon
deck that can function for its opening in April 2005; and have included that as a separate
work product. Because this needs to happen quickly, before the entire sign system can
be designed, the signs can test out some of the concepts outlined In the Wayfinding
Master Plan in advance of the design process. Other wayfinding recommendations,
such as pedestrian directionals at the garages or visitor information centers, will be
included in the Master Plan and will not be part of the Phase 1 efforts, as the Phase 1
decks would not open until well after completion of the Master Plan.

1A-16 Finalize Plan and Prepare Report
Following a meeting with the University and City to review comments from the second
community meeting, a draft and final report will be prepared. A single report will be
prepared for both decks. The report will document the study and all recommendations
for mitigating impacts and serving users of the decks. The total order -of -magnitude cost
will be finalized.
The study does not preclude the possibility that no decks be located on the north side of
Maple Street. In that event, alternative sites will be identified as part of the
Transportation Master Plan study (Phase 2).
WORK PRODUCTS
The Phase 1A study will produce:
• A report documenting the study, including diagrams depicting existing, no -build and
build traffic conditions, and any recommendations for transportation improvements or
changes.
• An executive summary of the report.
• Temporary wayfinding signs for signs for the Harmon deck.
• All documents in a pdf format suitable for posting on the University's website.
MARTIN/AL EXIOU/BRYSON 8 July 12. 2004
PHASE lB - DOWNTOWN DISTRICT AND WEST AVEJDICKSON ST. DEC
The draft Downtown Master Plan identifies a need for a 1,200 -space parking deck at the
southwest comer of Dickson Street and West Avenue to serve merchants, Walton Arts
Center patrons, and students. The Phase 1 B study will provide an assessment of this
deck The study will be structured to capture and understand the cumulative impacts of
this and both decks studied in Phase IA.
The Phase 1 B study will follow the completion of the Phase IA, but will be undertaken
concurrently with the Transportation Master Plan. It will be completed within
approximately four months.
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
Phase 1 B stakeholder involvement will include two meetings (as in Phase IA) focusing
on businesses and communities along and around Dickson Street. In addition, less
formal meetings will be held with individuals or smaller groups as needed. M/AB also
will provide all material for placement on the University's website.
One difference to the Phase I meetings will be that following the presentation at the
second meeting, attendees will be asked to break into groups and mark up maps
showing the preferred improvements and identifying any other issues that should be
addressed.
TASKS
(Note — where these tasks are similar to lA tasks, the detailed task descriptions are not
repeated).
18-1 Review Background Information
M/AB will review the Downtown Master Plan findings and recommendations, and meet
with City and University officials to confirm the need, location, target size, and shared
use arrangements of the proposed deck. M/AB will visit the site and identify any
locational or access issues prior to the meeting.
18-2 Meet with Local Businesses
M/AB will meet with local businesses to discuss their needs and obtain any input for the
study (one meeting to be organized by University/City).
1 B-3 Develop Initial Concept Plan
A concept plan(s) for the parking deck will be prepared, taking into account site
constraints, height limitations, City regulations (setbacks, landscaping, etc.), access,
sidewalks needs. The plan(s) will include the footprint, typical floor layout, ramp
configurations, and vehicular and pedestrian access. The opportunity to integrate other
MARTIN/ALEXJOU/BRYSON 9 July 12, 2004
uses (e.g., retail, police substation) into the street level faces of the deck also will be
explored. (A fuller list of criteria for this task are detailed under Phase 2).
The development of a concept plan will allow:
• The feasibility of deck on this site to be assessed,
• The actual number of spaces to be determined,
• The integration of other land uses into the site to be studied, and
• Site issues to be identified.
The initial plans will be presented to the City and University for review and comments.
The final number of spaces will be used in the traffic study.
16-4 Collect Intersection, Roadway and Traffic Data
A study area will be defined to address the potential combined impacts of the decks.
The streets and intersections within this study area will be added to the traffic simulation
model developed for the Harmon and North Campus decks analysis.
It is anticipated that up to 10 intersections along Dickson Street, Center Street, and
possibly LaFayette Street will be added to the model (bringing the total number of
intersections in the model to approximately 40). The following is a preliminary list of
intersections that may be included (this list will be reviewed and finalized with the
University and City):
• Dickson and West
• Dickson and School
• Dickson and Locust
• Dickson and Church
• Dickson and Block
• Dickson and Highland
• Dickson and College
• Lafayette and West
• Maple and West
Counts will be collected for the A.M. and P.M peak periods (two hours In each period). It
is assumed new counts will be required at half the intersections. The counts will include
pedestrians, cyclists, and trucks/buses.
1B-5 Expand Traffic Simulation Model
The Synchro/SimTraffic simulation model developed in Phase 1A will be expanded to
included the above streets and intersections.
184 Conduct Existing Conditions Traffic Analysis
The model will be applied to assess existing conditions for the A.M. and P.M. peak
periods. This will include level -of -service (LOS) for intersections and specific
movements, delays, and queuing. Existing problems will be identified and mapped.

MARTJN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 13 July 12, 2004
PHASE 2- TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN
PURPOSE
The development of the Transportation Master Plan will be undertaken concurrently and
interactively with the Master Plan update being undertaken by the University. The
Transportation Plan will be multi -modal and holistic, with an emphasis on state-of-the-art
sustainable options and solutions which reflect the Universitys vision and mission. The
Plan also will respect adjacent neighborhoods, and consider regional trends. This is the
approach MIAIB applies to all its master planning projects.
Following is an outline of the key tasks that will be required to be develop the
Transportation Plan. While task are described by mode below, all of the transportation
elements (both physical and policy) are clearly interrelated, and no single issue or mode
Is studied and addressed in isolation. Moreover, because of this interrelationship, the
development of the Plan is dynamic In that the development of a particular transportation
element evolves as other elements are progressed and refined. For example, any
changes considered for the street system must consider bicycle and transit circulation
goals and needs. While the description of the tasks is sequential, the reality is that the
planning process is far from sequential. This should be kept in mind as one reads the
task descriptions. Ultimately, what results is a package of transportation improvements
and policies that is internally consistent, reflective of the vision and priorities, and
implementable. In that respect, the Master Plan update also will provide an essential
framework for the transportation study and decisions.
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
Unlike the Phase I studies, Phase 2 stakeholder involvement will be more ongoing and
more closely related to the process for updating the Master Plan. This will include:
• Meetings with the Master Plan team at least once every two months.
• Presentations and workshops with the University community (administrators, faculty,
staff, students).
Two charrettes:
➢ Near beginning of the study to present project goals and objectives, background
information, etc., for the purpose of soliciting input on problems, concerns, and
desires.
➢ Near completion of transportation concepts to solicit comments of the draft
findings and recommendations.
The proposed timing of these charrettes is shown on the project timeline.
• Providing ongoing information for the University's website.
The charrettes may be stand-alone (i.e., for the transportation plan only), or combined
with charrettes that the may undertaken for the Campus Master Plan update. Each
charrette will occur over one to two days.
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 14 July 12, 2004
M/AB will be responsible for handout materials, conducting the meetings, presentations,
and minutes. The University will provide and organize the venues and send out meeting
notices.
TASKS
2-1 Review Available Traffic and Parking Data
The purpose of this major task is to establish an overview and assessment of existing
and projected transportation conditions and issues. It also will provide a preliminary
framework for the Phase I studies.
All existing transportation data will be collected from the University, City of Fayetteville,
Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission, Arkansas Department of
Transportation, and field observations. This will be reviewed and summarized, and
missing data that will be necessary for the study identified.
Transportation data will include roadway and intersection inventory, daily and peak
period traffic counts and projections, University parking data (inventory, occupancy,
turnover rates, trip generation rates, permit allocation, policies, etc), and accident
statistics (the collection and review of transit services, bicycle facilities, trip reduction
measures, etc., will begin here but are addressed under separate tasks). No surveys to
coiled missing or additional data are included in the fee.
This task will include a half -day tour of the campus to view field conditions and specific
locations of interest or concern.
2-2 Review Relevant Planning Documents and Processes
All planning and transportation reports for the regions will be reviewed to understand
existing and projected transportation issues and problems, and regional/City plans,
goals and priorities. In addition, City, regional, and State transportation officials will be
interviewed.
Planned transportation improvements that may impact the University will be obtained
and reviewed. Outside agencies will be contacted to determine the current status of
projects that may be included in the region's long-range transportation plans or
transportation. improvement_ programs. Proposals will be marked on a base map, and
key features and issues summarized.
M/AB also will review the City, regional and State transportation planning and budgeting
processes to determine the requirements and deadlines for applying for funding for
projects that may emerge as part of the Campus Transportation Plan.
2-3 Undertake Transportation Surveys
Two surveys are proposed to gather more detailed information regarding travel patterns
and behavior.
MARTIN/ALEX/OU/BRYSON 15 July 12, 2004
1. Geocoding with GIS employee and student addresses to map where they live. This
provides invaluable information for.
• Refining transit services at the City and regional level.
• Identifying park -and -ride, vanpooling and carpooling potential at the regional level.
• Refining transit services in the area around the University where students and
employees area living.
• Determining the approach directions to the campus.
2. Undertaking a survey of the university community via an email questionnaire
regarding their parking and transportation patterns. A survey email service. Zoomerang,
will be utilized to collect and tabulate the data. Information collected will include:
• Parking characteristics and needs (including where parked, on or off -campus)
• Daily trip origin and campus destination(s)
• Arrival and departure times
• Travel during the day
• Mode of travel (typically and occasionally)
• Interest in using alternatives
• Reasons for not using alternative modes
• General comments on transportation concerns, issues, ideas, etc.
This information will be mapped and summarized in tables and graphs. The fee
assumes a total of 2,000 completed surveys.
2-4 Undertake Peer Review
MIAB will collect transportation data from peer institutions to be identified by the
University (M/AB already has data from many universities). Data listed in the Request
for Proposal will be included, as well as strategies being used to reduce parking and
traffic. The data will be summarized in text, tables and graphs.
2-5 Forecast Parking Needs (Initial Estimates)
A parking needs assessment will be undertaken in two phases:
• An. initial assessment based on maintaining existing parking ratios as the University
grows (described below). The results of this initial analysis will be used to check or
confirm the parking needs for the Phase I studies and decks, and to provide a
baseline for parking and alternative mode decisions.
• A final needs assessment based on changes in policies, enhancement of alternative
modes, and measures to encourage use of those modes (described in later task).
Parking maps and data will be obtained from the University. Based on this data,
interviews with staff, and the results of the survey, WAS will determine the extent of any
current parking shortfall or surplus, and other parking issues or problems.
Following is an outline of the steps that will be undertaken to project future needs:
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 16 July 12, 2004
• The approximate potential parking losses and gains that may result from the
Campus Master Plan will be estimated (this estimate will be revised as the Master
Plan study progresses). Gains will include the Harmon deck.
The future estimated parking demand based on (a) potential build -out of the Master
Plan (or other measures of potential growth), and (b) current ratios of parking to
employees and students will be determined. This estimate also will be continually
updated as the Campus Master Plan study progresses, and several growth
scenarios may be considered. Future demand will be estimated by user type, and
will include special events needs to the extent these exceed typical weekday
demands.
• This increase in demand will be added to the parking losses to project the
hypothetical future parking need based on current parking ratios.
The cost of providing this parking will be estimated (capital and ongoing operating and
maintenance), and translated into permit price increases. In addition, the amount of land
needed and the net increases in traffic, wiU be estimated so that the University
understands the implications of continuing current policies.
2-6 Establish Principles, Goals and Objectives
Based on the preceding tasks, and the initial Campus Master Plan tasks, a set of guiding
principles will be established for the Transportation Master Plan. These then will be
translated into goals and objectives, and priorities, which the University will be asked to
adopt.
2-7 Assess Potential for Travel Demand Management
This task will focus on identifying or refining existing and potential travel demand
management (TOM) measures, and estimating their impact on parking demand.
Potential measures to be studied for improvement or implementation include:
• Improved bus transit (service and facilities)
• Campus shuttles
• Para -transit
• Bus pass programs (UPASS)
• Park -and -ride
• Car and van -pools
• Flex parking systems
• Parking pricing/incentives for using altematives
• Pedestrian facilities and conditions
• Bicycling facilities
• SAFE programs for walking, cycling, buses
• Other motorized and non -motorized modes
• Telecommuting
• Variable/flexible work hours
• Car sharing
• Emergency ride home
MART/N/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 17 July 12, 2004
M
•
• Campus housing
Specific tasks include:
Reviewing existing TDM measures being implemented by the University and the
City. As part of analyzing future TDM options, it will be critical to evaluate the
existing TDM plan. Historical data also may provide a baseline for the University's
success with and responsiveness to specific TDM measures that have been
implemented or tried over time. Any past transportation surveys may also provide
insights into the effectiveness of various measures, as well identifying opportunities
for improvements. Discussions with staff and other members of the University
community will shed light not only on perceptions of effectiveness, but the overall
receptiveness to new measures.
2. Reviewing measures and strategies being implemented at other universities that are
leaders in TDM (from a previous task). These include the University of Washington
in Seattle, the University of Wisconsin in Madison, and the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill.
3. Evaluating the findings of the survey (from a previous task) to gain insights into
interest in and obstacles to using alternatives.
4. Identifying improvements and enhancements to existing measures, identifying
additional measures, and estimating their role and effectiveness in reducing parking
needs and contributing to other campus objectives. The baseline data from Step 1,
coupled with an analysis of programs at similar universities, will provide the inputs for
an analysis of possible additional TDM measures.
In addition to more traditional qualitative evaluation measures, a number of quantitative
systems are available for predicting the outcomes (at an order -of -magnitude scale) of
various measures. WINS will utilize a model it is currently developing for another large
state flagship university to analyze a number of TDM scenarios and develop meaningful
results that can provide a quantitative input for estimating future parking demands. The
regional travel forecasting model being developed may also provide more direct results
for improvements that may already be included in that model (e.g., bus transit).
Potential parking reductions from TDM measures will be estimated and a menu of
options and their impacts presented to the University. Target reductions will established
based on University feedback. These may beadjusted based as the impacts of growth
on the street network are assessed and decisions are made about the level of desired
growth and how to accommodate the associated transportation demands.
The TDM measures that are ultimately selected for the Transportation Plan wIll be
detailed along with an implementation plan.
2-8 Develop Parking Plan
The preliminary estimates of potential parking reductions resulting from TDM measures
will be used to adjust future parking needs. This may be undertaken for various growth
scenarios, by campus precinct, and user type (with particular emphasis on visitors and
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 18 July 12, 2004
r
special event needs). The results will be compared with parking ratios at similar
universities.
In conjunction with the Campus Master Plan team, potential sites for additional parking
to satisfy the projected parking needs will be identified and evaluated. Criteria for
selecting and ranking sites will indude:
• Proximity to major destinations (within 5 to 10 minute walk)
• Which users can be served
• Site capacity (number of spaces)
• Topography
• City regulations (height, setbacks, landscaping, etc.)
• Overall cost and cost per net space
• Vehicular access
• Street capacity and suitability
• Pedestrian and transit access
• Potential to serve special events
• Compatibility with adjacent land uses
• Potential to integrate other uses
• Visual Impacts
• Community impacts
The initial selected locations will be tested in the traffic simulation model, and
adjustments made If necessary (in size, access, or even completely eliminating a site if
traffic impacts are unacceptable and cannot be mitigated).
Recommendations will be made for parking allocation and pricing, based on a review of
current policies and practices at peer Institutions.
2-9 Complete and Apply Traffic Simulation Model
The simulation model developed and described in Phase 1 will be expanded to included
additional streets and intersections, particularly along the western edge of the campus.
The initial study area (from Phase 1) will be expanded to encompass the impacts of
other potential campus projects, as well as include current major or problematic
Intersections.
It is anticipated that counts_will be required at up to 10 additional intersections along
Dickson Street, Center Street, and possibly LaFayette Street (bringing the total number
of intersections in the model to approximately 50). The following is a preliminary list of
intersections that may be included (this list will be reviewed and finalized with the
University and City):
• Razorback and State Highway 62
• Razorback and Leroy Pond
• Razorback and Meadow
• Razorback and Markham
• Razorback and Maple
• Razorback and Cleveland
• Garland and State Highway 62
MARTIN/ALEX/OU/BRYSON 19 July 12. 2004
L
Maple and Stadium
The data described in Phase I will be collected for these intersections. It is assumed
new counts will be required at half the intersections.
The model will be applied to assess existing conditions for the A.M. and P.M. peak
periods. This will include level -of -service (LOS) for intersections and specific
movements, delays, and queuing. Existing problems will be identified and mapped.
(The Request for Proposals identifies other periods that may need to be analyzed.
While this could be undertaken, the cost to collect the data and develop the simulation
model for those periods would be significant and is not included in this proposal. It is
recommended that a sample of full day counts first be collected and analyzed to
determine the need for analyzing additional periods.)
The model then will be applied to assess conditions for a number of future year horizons
in 5 -year increments to 2030. Background growth will be added to existing traffic counts
using growth rates to be determined with the City (based on regional growth projections
or initial findings from the TransCAD model the City is developing. Regardless, M/AB
has extensive experience using a variety of both manual and model techniques for
forecasting growth, including the use of TransCAD models which we are developing for
several clients).
(While developing a model to test 5 -year growth increments is desirable, it has
significant cost Implications. There may be alternative, more cost-effective methods for
determining the timing of needed improvements.)
As in Phase 1, trip generation rates will be developed for new growth, projects and
decks, based on surveys and projected users. The campus will be divided into zones for
the purpose of trip generation.
As in Phase 1, traffic will be distributed and assigned to the street network based on the
geocoding results, existing traffic counts, and any available regional data. The
distribution of trips will be based on the zones.
The results of the modeling will identify congestion points and other traffic problems.
These will be described in text, charts, and maps. The improvements that would be
needed to provide acceptable level -of -service will be identified, along with their impact
on the pedestrian environment (safety and comfort), streetscape, adjacent land uses,
etc.
The threshold levels of traffic that trigger intersection failure and improvements at
specific locations will be estimated and related to specific Campus Master Plan
initiatives which may be revisited (this will entail an iterative loop between the Master
Plan and Transportation Master Plan where the simulation model tests and provides
feedback on Master Plan projects and other proposals — see below).
At the completion of the study, following final decisions on the level and location of
growth, the amount of parking being added, preferred street improvements and changes,
etc, the traffic simulation model will be rerun model to finalize the transportation plan and
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 20 July 12, 2004
improvements. In addition, the final growth plan will be converted into socio-economic
projections in a format that can be directly imported into TransCAD.
2-10 Assess Growth Impacts and Implications
This task is a continuation of the preceding task. Exceeding the street network capacity
(existing or future with whatever improvement are feasible) must not necessarily imply
that future campus growth must be constrained by this limitation (although it is certainly
cannot be ignored). If growth is desirable for other reasons, then the focus must turn to
reducing traffic, in addition to modifying the Campus Master Plan. It is probably at this
stage of the study where interaction between the two teams will be the most intense
(and creative), for the decisions made at this point will shape the future image of the
campus.
It is at this stage that the potential for alternative modes to reduce parking and traffic will
reviewed and balanced (in addition for the potential for broader City improvements to
divert through traffic away from campus streets). It is also at this point that the
University must make fundamental decisions about the type of campus environment it
wants to create (walkable versus auto -oriented, urban versus suburban, the amount of
on -campus housing, etc.).
The outcome of this interaction will provide the final direction for the Transportation
Master Plan, including the amount and location of future parking, parking policies, street
modifications (capacity improvements and traffic calming), transit service enhancements,
bicycle improvements, and final TDM measures).
2-11 Develop Street Plans
Based on the outcome of the preceding tasks, recommendations will be made for
changes to the street network. Capacity and safety improvements will be identified and
shown on plans and other graphics. In addition to possible intersection improvements,
potential traffic calming techniques to control the speed and or volume of traffic on
particular streets will be identified. Recommendations on street design and
characteristics that are emerging from joint efforts of transportation engineering
organizations and the Congress for The New Urbanism will be applied where
appropriate.
2-12 Identify Transit Service Improvements
Transit changes will be developed in close consultation with all agencies providing
services. These agencies will be interviewed to better understand current and
anticipated deficiencies and goals. Existing services will be reviewed, including routing,
ridership data, and costs. Transit routes serving the campus will be mapped in GIS.
Any plans for regional expansion also will be reviewed. The address data obtained from
the geocoding will be overlaid in the transit routes to identify services changes for the
Razorback Transit and the City system. These changes will consider changing needs as
the campus (and region) grows, and meeting the goals of the overall Transportation
Plan. The efficiency of transit circulation will be considered in any changes to the street
network.
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 21 July 12, 2004
Policies and programs to encourage use of transit will be considered under the heading
of TDM
2-13 Identity Bicycle Improvements
A bicycle committee will be formed, consisting of University staff, City transportation
planning staff, and individual cyclists and cycling groups. Bicycle usage and plans, and
other information available from the University, and from observations, will be described
and presented. City plans and programs for cyclists will be reviewed and summarized.
Conflicts and deficiencies will be documented and marked on maps. The committee will
assist M/AB identify desire lines (i.e., the key origin and destinations of cyclists (existing
and prospective). Findings from the email survey also will be considered.
Based on this Information, M/A/B will identify and recommend improvements for cyclists.
On and off-street improvements will be identified. Recommendations will be shown on
maps and described in text and tables, along with standards, typical sections, photos,
costs, priorities, phasing, and responsibilities).
M/AB also will recommend education, enforcement and other policies to support cyclists
(e.g., bicycle storage lockers, equipment storage lockers, showers, signage, safety
programs, etc.)
It is anticipated that up to four meetings will be held with the bicycle committee.
2-14 Identify Pedestrian Improvements
In conjunction with the Campus Master Plan update team, M/A/B will identify major
pedestrian flows, and facility deficiencies. Major pedestrian flows will be mapped, and
any available accident data, conflicts and deficiencies will be documented and marked
on maps. Recommendations will be made for improving street crossings and sidewalks.
2-15 Develop Wayfinding Plan
During the programming phase of the Campus Master Plan, team member Cloud
Gehshan Associates (CGA) will conduct a thorough investigation of the campus and
conduct interviews with staff, faculty and students. CGA will then analyze the results
and prepare a report, showing a visual audit of the campus relevant to existing signage,
observations about current.wayfinding, and an assessment of problems and
opportunities. The recommendations report includes wayfinding recommendations
(system logic, information sequence, sample journeys, viewpoint on visitor's centers,
non -sign wayfinding devices and terminology) and signage recommendations (campus
image, sign types needed, examples of sign types from other campuses, use of identity,
use of fonts/colorslsymbols, need for specialty items such as interpretive and banners,
maintenance strategy). M/A/B will assist CGA by providing information on arrival and
circulation patterns, etc.
The overall design methodology for the developing the wayfinding plan is described
below. We understand that the objective is to improve wayfinding on the campus and its
surrounding neighborhoods. More specifically, the challenge is to create a reliable and
helpful sign system that supports self -navigation. We understand that the broader goal
MART/N/ALEX/OU/BRYSON 22 July 12. 2004
is to have enthusiastic students, faculty and visitors who are pleased with their
experience while on campus.
For the program to be successful over the long term, we believe the development
process must include the following components:
Stakeholder Involvement
The creation of a representative Stakeholder Group is critical to the success of a project.
We find that active and sustained participation by those that have a vested interest in the
project's success fosters a true sense of ownershipIn the resulting products. It is also
extremely important to involve all those that are critical to the project's approval or
implementation. This group should include representatives from the University, Arkansas
DOT, and City.
Mission Statement
Creating a standardized, attractive and visually cohesive visitorwayfinding system is a
major undertaking in which many people (sometimes with differing opinions) will be
Involved. Having dear agreements on the goals and Implementation priorities of the
project Is essential as concepts are developed and scrutinized by the stakeholders
committee.
Design Excellence
Signs must be especially designed for the vehicular environment, where drivers have
very limited time to read them. Messages and symbols must have maximum legibility.
Selected colors must have sufficient contrast and be fade -resistant. Posts must be
detailed with breakaway joints acceptable to the state highway department. Signs must
be vandal and theft -resistant. Fabrication costs must be reasonable. CGA tests design
concepts in the field with full-size mockups to confirm both their effectiveness and
appearance.
Communication of Identity
Signs carry tangible messages — information and direction; they also send intangible
messages about the character and spirit of the place. When signage projects a positive
and clear identity it also helps orient visitors and lets them know they have arrived
Signs are often the only continuous thread in an extended °neighborhood' like this with a
broad range of architectural styles, landscape, lighting and street furniture. For this
project, it is important that the sign system will help create a unifying and distinctive
character for the University of Arkansas while it solves wayfinding problems.
Plan for Ongoing Inventory and Maintenance
Though not requested as part of this project, planning for the maintenance and updating
of the sign system is a future imperative. It is important to set up administration of the
sign system to handle the eventualities of outdated information, physical wear and tear,
highway re-routing, etc. If an operational system is put in place to address each of these
situations, the initial investment in the sign program will continue to pay dividends.
Marketing Coordination
Many visitors begin their visit at home with brochures, advertisements or websites. The
wayfinding components of this pre -visit' information, such as directions and maps, must
be coordinated with the sign system to give maximum assistance to visitors. Names for
places and other terminology must be exactly the same in print, signage and electronic
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 23 July 12, 2004
# 0
applications. Symbols used on signs, or images of the signs themselves, might be
shown to visitors before they arrive. As an optional service, we can assist the client with
this coordination.
Cloud Gehshan Associates is a leader in developing wayfinding and sign programs for
complex facilities, including many colleges and universities. CGA has designed sign
programs for the Ohio State University, University of Texas at Austin, Drexel University,
Bryn Mawr College and the University of Maryland. They have also distinguished
themselves in designing sign programs for cities and towns, including the City of
Richmond, Virginia, where practical wayfinding is blended with placemaking and identity
development. MIAB and CGA have collaborated on several planning projects
2-16 Provide Assistance to Campus Master Plan Details
This ongoing phase entails working closely with all those involved In developing plan
details for the campus (the Campus Master Plan and the landscaping plan in particular).
M/AB will advise and respond to transportation details arising from the development of
the district or precinct plans. Transportation elements that will be addressed include
roadways, site access, parking needs, allowance for potential transit and access, bus
circulation, bicycle routes, pedestrian routes, etc.
2-17 Finalize Improvements
In this task the various components of the Transportation Master Plan will be optimized
and finalized. Final adjustments will be made to ensure all elements are fully compatible
with and supportive of each other, and account for the final decisions on growth and the
finalized Campus Master Plan. Order -of -magnitude costs will be developed for
improvements.
2-18 Compile Plan
The final task will be compilation and documentation of the Transportation Master Plan.
This will include a report with supporting maps, graphics, tables, and charts, and an
executive summary to be incorporated Into the Campus Master Plan.
2-19 Project Management
This task applies to internal management as well as communication with the Client. The
project manager will maintain regular communication with team members via meetings,
memos, smalls, phone calls, and conference calls. At all times, every team member will
be aware of the status of the project, findings developed by other team members, and
upcoming products and deadlines.
The project manager will inform the University in a timely way of the technical progress
and fiscal status of the project via the following methods:
• Detailed Progress Reports that will accompany each monthly invoice, including work
completed in the past month, the amount of budget expended by task during the
invoice period, the total amount of budget expended, and the amount of budget
remaining.
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON 24 July 12, 2004
• Issues memorandums/emails as needed, identifying critical ongoing or upcoming
issues that could affect the schedule, budget or outcome of the project, and options
and recommendations for addressing them.
• Regular phone calls (or meetings) to review issues and upcoming tasks and events.
We wish to highlight two elements of our management approach.
Commitment
M/A/B is proud of its demonstrated commitment to meeting clients' needs. At both the
company and individual levels, we are committed to partnering with our clients to
achieve their goals and mission. We approach every assignment with this commitment
uppermost in our minds, and It guides every decision we make during a project. This
commitment translates into providing our clients the best possible outcomes,
recommendations, and products, delivered on time, and respectful of agreed -upon
budgets. It also translates into implementable and credible solutions, derived from solid,
state -of -the art technical methods and analyses, and a decision -based, inclusive study
process that welcomes input and participation by stakeholders.
Critical to the success of even the smallest campus project is understanding how It fits
into and supports the vision for the institution, and how it relates to the other projects or
initiatives. Our team understands the complexities of universities, their missions, and
the challenges they face at multiple levels. We truly understand the'big picture'. Our
experience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is a good example of this.
M/AIB was Intimately involved in the preparation of the Master Plan for the main
campus. Subsequently. M/A/B staff have been assisting the University obtain approvals
for its 6 million SF, 8 -year Development Plan. Transportation is a major issue in the
Town of Chapel Hill, and MIAB, under an on -call services contract through 2008, has
the responsibility to advise and guide the University, and prepare and update a
Transportation Impact Analysis report every two years. Finally, at the project level, we
are involved in detailed studies and the design of individual projects. At every step of
the way, regardless of at which level we are working, we are cognizant of how individual
projects contribute to the University's mission and Master Plan principles, and how the
legal requirements of the Town -approved Development Plan affect project details. In
Chapel Hill, the Town staff and elected officials we have worked with have come to
respect our technical expertise, our professionalism and integrity, and our commitment
to contributing towards good, sustainable transportation systems.
Decision -mating
The study process is critical to the success of any project, and must provide the .
information and build the understanding and consensus necessary for making effective
decisions. It includes how information is presented, how stakeholders are engaged, how
meetings are structured, how decisions are made, etc. The process starts with agreeing
on a format for making decisions, followed by establishing and agreeing on project
objectives. From these are derived evaluation criteria and measures. All options and
choices are then evaluated against these criteria. In this way each decision becomes a
solid building block for moving forward. Agreement on key issues and factors at the
appropriate step in any study will avoid surprises later in the study. Therefore, meetings
must be thoughtfully structured to carefully explain issues and options, and make group
decisions.
We wish to highlight two aspects of our general management approach:
MART/N/ALEX/OU/BRYSON 25 July 12, 2004
• A focus on technical information that is key to assessing feasibility and
consequences and making decisions in each phase. This implies always keeping
the study objectives in mind, and collecting data or undertaking analysis that
contribute to that goal.
• A focus on making clear decisions that keep the study moving forward. Each step of
a study must conclude with a clear direction. Therefore, the opinions and concerns
of all interested parties must be aggressively sought out early so that they can be
factored into the technical work and addressed.
We strongly believe it is the role and responsibility of the consulting team, and
specifically the project manager, to lead the study. Effective project management is the
key to a successful project. Leadership means understanding and anticipating the
variety of issues that typically arise in these studies, finding practical ways to address
them, and presenting them to the decision -makers and stakeholders in such a way that
options and decisions are dear.
WORK PRODUCTS
The Phase 2 study will produce:
• Technical memorandums at the end of individual studies (TDM, bicycle, transit, etc.)
• Draft and final reports (stand alone documents)
• An executive summary of the report
• All maps, figures and diagrams to illustrate the recommendations
• All documents in a pdf format suitable for posting on the University's website
• Maps and descriptions of proposed street changes
• A parking plan and policies
• A TDM implementation plan and policies
• A bike plan and policies
• A transit plan and policies
• Pedestrian improvements and policies
• Standards and guidelines, typical sections, blow-ups and photos to better illustrate
proposed designs
• A wayfinding plan (as described under the wayfinding task)

OBLIGATIONS OF UNIVERSITY AND CITY
The roles and obligations of the University of Arkansas for the study shall include:
• Providing all available parking and transit data (as described in the relevant tasks)
• Providing up-to-date electronic aerials and site plans of the campus and any other
pertinent areas, including sidewalks and rights -of -way
• Providing approved nomenclature for all buildings and destinations
• Providing any University regulations pertaining to signage
• Providing all data for estimating current and future special event needs by location
• Providing all Master Plan information
• Assisting in coordinating the Campus Master Plan update with the Transportation
Master Plan
• Identifying all groups and individuals to be involved in the study
• Organizing meeting venues and notifying participants (groups and individuals)
• Establishing an interactive website
The roles and obligations of the City of Fayetteville for the study shall Include:
• Providing existing Synchro/SimTraffic files
• Providing the University soda -economic growth data for the TransCAD model
• Providing mapping In electronic format
• Providing signal plans for signalized intersections
• Providing all existing traffic counts
• Providing growth rates for traffic counts
• Reviewing and approving the methodologies for undertaking the traffic analyses
• Reviewing the simulation model
• Providing the latest city, county or state regulations pertaining to signage
PROJECT TIMELINE
An estimated project timeline is included on the following page. The following should be
noted:
• The timeline assumes a certain process and schedule for the Campus Master Plan
update. This timeline is very flexible, and any necessary adjustments can be made
to ensure the two studies are complementary.
• The Phase 1A and lB studies will be undertaken concurrently with the
Transportation Master Plan.
• While there is an urgency regarding the Phase 1A study, counts cannot be collected
until at least one week after school reopens. Therefore, the study will be completed
in late November. If all the counts are available (which is most unlikely), Phase 1A
can be completed earlier.
• Trips and meetings for Phases 1 and 2 coincide. Where they are required for
Phases 1A and 1 B, the hours (and cost) are included in those phases.

Hello Jeremy ,Uc.M-
Buchanan Avenue Vacate Documents
I write further to the City's Council meeting of the 17th August 2004 where
VAC 04-1136 (UofA Parking Garage, 483) was discussed.
A formal request was made at this meeting that the 2nd reading of the
Ordinance be postponed to allow time for a recently commissioned
transportation study by the UofA to investigate concerns expressed by
Council concerning vehicular access to the new parking deck on Duncan/
William/ Harmon. The next reading is scheduled for the 16th November 200$,
however sufficient information will not be available within this timeframe,
accordingly I am requesting that the Ordinance be tabled until the Tuesday
February 15th 2005 Council Meeting. It is anticipated that the results of
the study will be available prior to this meeting thereby enabling detailed
discussions between the UofA and Council concerning this important subject.
Please let me know as to what formal documentation is needed, if any, to
ensure that this postponement is executed.
Kind Regards

Subject: Harmon Avenue Parking Facility (HAPF) Traffic Analysis
Introduction
The University of Arkansas is implementing both its 1998 Campus Master Plan and the 2010
Commission goals to accommodate academic growth and improve the physical campus. As a
result, in the past couple of years and over the next few years, existing surface parking facilities
have been or will be displaced by buildings or open space projects. The lost parking and the
additional parking needed to support growth will be, primarily, provided in new parking facilities,
which is a common trend on campuses across the nation. The Harmon Avenue Parking Facility
(HAPF) construction, which is nearly complete, is being constructed for this purpose.
This memo summarizes the findings of the traffic analysis undertaken to determine the impacts of
the HAPF and associated campus parking changes on the surrounding road network. The years
2006 and 2010 were selected as intermediate milestones as the University continues to expand its
facilities. An ongoing Transportation Master Plan will more fully address transportation needs
beyond these intermediate years, once completed.
Campus Parking Changes
The HAPF, currently under construction and scheduled for completion by the start of the
2005/2006 school year, consists of 2,149 parking spaces. As shown in Figure 1, the HAPF is
being constructed on a portion of campus that previously housed surface parking lots and
miscellaneous University buildings. In addition, with the HAPF construction, the roadway network
has changed slightly; a portion of Harmon Avenue was relocated and now intersects Buchanan
Avenue near Williams Street. There is also additional future construction for the Willard J. Walker
Hall (WJWH) and Center for Academic Excellence Building (CAEB) in the area once the HAPF is
completed, also shown in Figure 1.
By 2006, two-thirds of the deck (1,418 spaces) is expected to be occupied, with 100 percent
occupancy anticipated by 2007/2008. Access to the HAPF will be provided via five driveways: two
on Williams Street, one on Harmon Avenue, and two on Duncan Avenue (one-way enter and one-
way exit only). Refer to Figure 2 for access and deck layout.
A number of parking space losses and gains are also planned as part of campus growth. With the
HAPF construction approximately 197 spaces were lost previously, however the turning movement
counts used in this analysis were collected in November, 2004, after these spaces were lost. By
analysis year 2006, it was assumed that there would be a net increase of 1,130 parking spaces on
the entire main campus and an additional increase of 438 spaces by 2010. The planned changes
for the analysis are detailed in Table 1. It should be noted however, that by 2015 an additional
1,044 spaces are projected to be lost due to construction on the main campus. This results in a
relatively small change (+327) in total parking over the campus through year 2015. Therefore, the
results of the 2010 analysis actually may be similar to traffic congestion on campus beyond 2010
as these additional parking losses come online.

Traffic Analysis Study Area
The following intersections were identified for inclusion in this analysis for existing (2004) and
future (2006 and 2010) conditions in the south main campus:
• Markham Road at Razorback Road (unsignalized)
• Dickson Street at Buchanan Avenue (unsignalized)
• Dickson Street at Duncan Avenue (unsignalized)
• Meadow Street at Razorback Road (unsignalized)
• California Boulevard at Stadium DriveNirginia Street (unsignalized four-way stop)
• Center Street at Harmon Avenue (unsignalized)
• Center Street at Duncan Avenue (signalized)
• Center Street at University Avenue (unsignalized)
• Leroy Pond Road at Razorback Road (unsignalized)
• California Boulevard at Virginia Avenue/Garland Avenue (unsignalized)
• 6'" Street at Razorback Road (signalized)
• 6'" Street at Garland Avenue (unsignalized)
• Meadow Street at Stadium Drive (unsignalized)
• Leroy Pond Road at California Boulevard (unsignalized)
Site Trips and Distribution
Site trips entering and exiting the surface lots and HAPF were estimated based on the net change
in parking spaces for both the 2006 and 2010 build years presented in Table 1. •The trip rates that
were used in the trip generation calculations were average rates based on previous studies for the
University of Arkansas and other universities in the US. These rates are presented in Table 2.
Table 2- Parking Trip Generation
AM In I AM Out
Site trips were distributed based on existing traffic patterns, employee and student addresses, and
the results of an online survey of University students and employees. The distribution that resulted
is similar to patterns observed by previous studies. The trip distribution used in the analysis is as
follows:
• 37% from the East
• 18% from the West
• 37% from the North
• 8% from the South
Traffic Analysis Scenarios Results
Analysis was performed under four scenarios:
• Existing conditions (2004),
• Build (2006 with the HAPF and associated parking changes to the campus parking system),
• No -Build (2010 without the HAPF or any other changes in the campus parking system), and
• Build (2010) conditions.
MARTIN/ALIXIou/BRYS', PLLC
Transportation Planners
Traffic Engineers
The Existing (2004) scenario includes A.M. and P.M. peak hour analyses using turning movement
count data collected in November, 2004.
The Build (2006) scenario includes existing traffic grown by 2.25% per annum from 2004 to 2006,
as well as site trips generated by the net change in parking spaces (the annual growth rate was
determined in conjunction with City of Fayetteville, Regional Planning Commission, and Arkansas
Highways and Transportation Department staff). The Build (2010) scenario includes existing traffic
grown by 2.25% per annum from 2006 to 2010, as well as site trips generated by the net change in
parking spaces.
The analyses results are typically determined by the reported peak hour level of service (LOS).
Peak hour level of service measures the adequacy of the intersection geometrics and traffic
controls of a particular intersection or approach for the given turning movement volumes. Levels of
service range from A through F, based on the average control delay experienced by vehicles
traveling through the intersection during the peak hour. Control delay represents the portion of
total delay attributed to traffic control devices (e.g., signals or stop signs). Table 3 provides a
general description of the various level of service categories and delay ranges.

The engineering profession generally accepts LOS D as an acceptable operating condition for
signalized intersections in urban areas and LOS C for rural areas. At unsignalized intersections, a
LOS E is generally considered acceptable only if the side street encounters delay. Nevertheless,
side streets typically function at LOS F during peak traffic periods, because the traffic volumes
often do not warrant a traffic signal to assist side street traffic.
Regardless, even if an intersection "fails' by the above standards, it is often unreasonable to make
the improvements that would be needed to bring the intersection up to an °acceptable' level of
service. Reasons or constraints to making improvements, particularly in an older, build -out urban
area, include environmental impacts, impacts on adjacent land uses, excessive costs, longer -term
transportation improvements or changes that may reduce or redistribute traffic, or simply the
concern that capacity improvements may encourage more traffic to use that route.
Existing (2004) Conditions
The Existing (2004) conditions analysis revealed one intersection, within the south main campus
area that is currently experiencing congestion problems (LOS E/F) during the P.M. peak hour. The
problematic approach is also highlighted next to the intersection in parenthesis:

Build (2006) Conditions
In addition to the intersections listed above, the Build (2006) conditions analysis revealed some
further intersections within the south main campus area that are projected to experience
congestion problems (LOS E/F) during either the A.M. or P.M. peak hour. These results are based
on the continued growth in background traffic (between 2004 and 2006), as well as the HAPF
being approximately two-thirds (2/3) full and the other parking losses detailed in Table 1. The
problematic approach is also highlighted next to the intersection in parenthesis. These locations
include:
• Dickson Street at Duncan Avenue (unsignalized NB approach in P:M. peak hour)
• California Boulevard at Stadium Drive/Virginia Street (unsignalized SB approach in P.M.
peak hour)
• Center Street at Harmon Avenue (unsignalized SB approach in P.M. peak hour)
• California Boulevard at Garland Avenue/Virginia Street (unsignalized NB approach during
both peak hours)
No -Build (2010) Conditions
In addition to the intersections listed under the Existing (2004) condition results, the No -Build
(2010) analysis revealed another intersection within the south main campus area that is projected
to experience congestion problems (LOS E/F) during both the A.M. and P.M. peak hour. These
results are based solely on the continued growth in background traffic (between 2004 and 2010).
This location includes:
• 6'° Street at Garland Avenue (unsignalized NB and SB approaches during both peak hours)
Build (2010) Conditions
In addition to the intersections listed above, the Build (2010) conditions analysis revealed some
further intersections within the south main campus area that are projected to experience
congestion problems (LOS E/F) during either the A.M. or P.M. peak hour. These results are based
on the continued growth in background traffic (between 2006 and 2010), as well as the HAPF
being full and the other parking losses detailed in Table 1. The problematic approach is also
highlighted next to the intersection in parenthesis. These locations include:
• Center Street at Duncan Avenue (signalized EB approach during both peak hours)
• Center Street at University Avenue (unsignalized NB and SB approaches during both peak
hours)
• Meadow Street at Stadium Drive (unsignalized EB approach in P.M. peak hour)
Recommendations
As listed previously, there are numerous locations in the study area that are projected to operate at
a poor level of service in the future with or without the proposed parking changes. Some of these
traffic problems are a consequence of the projected growth in background traffic in the Fayetteville
area. In addition, it must also be noted that the majority of these locations are unsignalized
approaches that will only experience delays during one or two hours of the day, and will not
warrant signalization. This is typical for urban areas, for which the cost and impact of
improvements would far outweigh benefits to the intersection operation. There are also safety
problems at some locations due to sight distance restrictions arising from the horizontal and
MARTIN/ALEXIOU/BRYSON, PLLC
vertical alignments of the area roadways.
• Transportation Planners
Traffic Engineers
To accommodate the traffic generated by the HAPF, there are some improvements that should be
considered in the study area in the near -term. There are also some network improvements that will
be addressed in more detail in the Transportation Master Plan, and are considered longer -term
improvements.
Near -Term (next 5 years)
Center Street at Harmon Avenue — Currently an unsignalized intersection that will serve the
HAPF from the south and currently serves the Fayetteville High School from the north.
Grades and sight distance are problematic on all approaches to the intersection. By 2006,
the SB approach is projected to experience some delay problems, but not too severe. As
traffic volumes continue to increase in the area during the next 5 years, modifications
needed to improve traffic operations and safety include: WB and EB left -turn lanes along
Center Street and a SB right -turn lane along Harmon Avenue. For future considerations, if
high school traffic were prohibited from using this intersection, the intersection could be
converted to a T -intersection, and a significant reduction in A.M. peak hour traffic volumes
would improve operations.
Center Street at Duncan Avenue — Currently a signalized intersection operating with
antiquated signal equipment that does not currently meet Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) guidelines. This intersection suffers from poor sight distance on several
approaches. Year 2006 LOS results were found to be acceptable; however by 2010 the
intersection LOS degrades, mainly due to the signal timing. Signal operates pre -timed on a
fairly short cycle length (50 seconds); therefore it is recommended that the signal be
upgraded as soon as possible to provide actuated control with at least two signal heads per
approach. Additional modifications recommended to improve traffic operations and safety
at this location during the next five years include WB and EB left -turn lanes along Center
Street and a SB right -turn lane along Duncan Avenue.
6"' Street at Garland Avenue — Currently an unsignalized intersection that serves the
University as well as the majority of Fayetteville High School traffic. Hazardous pedestrian
crossing across 6"' Street at this location, mainly used by high school students during the
midday peak hours. SB and NB approaches degrade to poor conditions by 2006 and
continue to worsen by 2010. Recommendations at this location include lengthening the SB
right -turn lane on the Garland Avenue approach and signalizing the intersection after
conducting a formal signal warrants study.
California Boulevard at Stadium DriveNirginia Street — Currently a four-way stop, this
intersection is projected to experience congestion problems by 2006. Improvement options
for this location would include the following:
o signalization should be considered after conducting a formal signal warrants study
o construct turn lanes on the SB, WB, and EB approaches.
The Transportation Master Plan will also study the possibility of eliminating one leg of the
intersection to form a three -leg intersection to provide a more direct connection to the south
from Stadium Drive to Garland Avenue. This intersection modification will also address the
sight distance and delays at the California Boulevard at Garland Avenue/Virginia Street
unsignalized intersection.

o Cleveland Street at Razorback Road
